The Mobile Device Path to Purchase: Parents & Children

New Communicus research sheds light on kids and mobile devices. According to the study, one-third of American pre-kindergarten-age children have their own tablet, while two-thirds of kids regularly use tablets. Among those that do not have tablets, 50% ask their parents to buy them one. Children who already have a mobile device are as likely (or more likely) to ask for a new device, as are those without one. More kids want iPads or iPhones than any other mobile device, and beyond Apple devices, most young users do not care what brand they get. Advertisers who hope to gain market share for their mobile devices over the coming months (and years) would be wise to recognize young consumers and their power to persuade. A thorough exploration of the study is available in our Knowledge Center.
